I am baffled by the whole mysticism surrounding his health...why doesn't he just come out and say what the hell is really going on with his health?

Because Apple are one of the most secretively paranoid companies around, and the vast majority of that comes from the top down. This is complete bull:

"During the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought."

The treatment for a hormone imbalance should be fairly straightforward, especially considering his clarification memo not long ago.
